On the video below [1], Senator Ted Cruz of Texas finally confirms just how bad he is on immigration. Rather than strongly opposing the Senate amnesty bill and completely opposing any form of mass legalization, Ted Cruz wanted to "fix" the Senate bill.

On the video, Cruz talks about what his amendments would do. This is what he supports:

Ted Cruz wants to legalize most of the millions of illegal aliens in the U.S.

Legalizing illegal aliens but not putting them on the "path to citizenship" will not work as expected. As discussed here going back years, the Democratic Party will work night and day to put those former illegal aliens on the "path to citizenship". The same dynamic that leads to the GOP supporting legalization will lead to them supporting those Democratic efforts. See this and this among others for past discussions.

In addition to those bad policies, Cruz uses the following talking points:

Want to do something about this? Work to discredit Tea Party leaders that support Cruz. Point out that supporting Cruz puts those leaders on the wrong side of the immigration issue. For instance, work to weaken the support of those like @JennyBethM of the Tea Party "Patriots" for Cruz. Expect to get smeared by Cruz supporters for doing things like that, but respond by pointing out the facts above.
